"Golden Bachelor" star Gerry Turner has left the Bachelor Mansion and has his sights set on South Carolina.
After the first season of the "Golden Bachelor" concluded Thursday and Turner proposed to Theresa Nist, the question became, where will the new couple live?
"One of the things that I think fate played a hand in is the possibility of where we might wind up living," Gerry told People magazine.
"For the last couple of years, when my family gets together, I've talked about moving to South Carolina, and it's an idea I've toyed with. And then, in conversation with Theresa, a private moment, she's saying, ‘Well, yeah, my son lives near Charleston in South Carolina.'"

Turner, 72, lives in Indiana and his fiancée, 70, lives in New Jersey. Gerry told People magazine his private conversation with Theresa made it easy to come to a conclusion on where they will start their lives together.
"And, all of a sudden, it's like, there's a big problem that is gone," he told the outlet. "The issue of compromising on where to live and how to reconcile families and all of that is, it's no longer an issue."
Gerry and Theresa hope their families will make the trip down South to visit them.
"We want to have a house that's so inviting that everyone would want to come," Nist said. "Maybe a pool so they all want to come and have fun."
